Hi,

It's with a very sad soul that I share that the deal has unraveled for replacing our siding due to irreconcilable differences among the board and with myself. We failed to align and find a way to work well together.

The latest offer from the contractor stresses the two areas that are our thinnest places: the contract and price. It's over our allotted funds.

My partners, who serves as the Board president, is disgusted. She wants to shut it down, pay our consultant what is their due, and return the money deposited by the owners to get this done. And step away from command.

A couple of proverbs: Turkish: When you find yourself on the wrong road, stop.
Songhay (African): If you road is blocked, go home.

About 7 years of work, countless meetings, visits to showrooms, escorting vendors around the building, persuading boards to accept necessary precautions, getting agreements on the materials, colors, style, railings, pricing, extra assessments, etc, etc. etc.

My goto friend is Holly Cole when this happens. I cried.

Going down with the ship.
